The conviction in New York of James Kemp, for selling oleomargarine, raises an interesting question concerning the consti- nationality of the New York State oleomar- garine law. Kemp was found guilty in spite of the fact that he made no attempt to sell the oleomargarine as butter. Section 8 of the New York law ssto prevent deception in the sale of dairy products and to preserve the public health, passed April 30, 1885, forbids the manufacture of any oleaginous substance not produced from milk or cream with intent to sell the same as butter It also forbids the sale of such substance, and it provides that coloring such substance so as to resemble butter or having in possession such substance so colored shall be conclusive evidence of intent to sell it for butter. Kemp was presumably convicted under this re- $100 to $1, 900.
 The Union Signal, the organ of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, has faith in prayer. In an editorial article of jubilation over the recent decision by the Su- preme court in the prohibition cases, it says: "Here the matter rested so far as legal meas ures were concerned, but best of all the people were praying, many of them as they had never prayed before.

 An invention of Herr Giezel of Brunn, for preventing railroad collisions is highly spok en of among Austrian engineers. It consists of pilot engine, or safety lorry, worked by electricity, and running at some distance in front of the train. It stops the train autom- stieally, and runs at any speed. From a dynamo-electr1c machine on the engine of the train current is conducted through the rails to the pilot engine. The engine driver has the lorry perfectly under his control, and the distance between it and the engine may be varied to suit curves or other conditions of the line. The pilot engine is fitted on the exterior with number of glass vessels, one or more of which must be broken if they en- counter any obstacle The glass vessels con- tain mercury contacts, and as the breakage causes an interruption of the current the vacuum brakes of the train are automatically applied. Two express trains running at full speed towards each other would thus be au-

CentIemen-I have been afflicted With Liberation Of the legs ever since was child, the disease undoubtedly being here ditary as my mother suffered from Scroful- ous symptoms. As I advanced to manhood my afflfction increased until the maIaoy De9ae of Tards to L describe. NY right leg particularly became fearfully involved, the lei leg being less painfully amectfea @ 1f-6 m ny, right leg had eaten through the flesh into the bone. In order to save my lire the doc- the knee The operation was successfully performed by pr. H. V. M. Miller, Of Atlanta, and Dr. W. P. Bond, Of Lithonia. But the loss of my leg gave me only temporary re- lief. The poison was still in my system ana time after large ulcers appeared on my left leg, covering 1t from the knee to the 1nstep: Frequently while at work could be tracked by the blood which oozed from the huge ulcers, and the sores and rottentng holes were so offensive that my feliow-woFkmen could not stand the Stench and would move away from me,
 Last winter was persuaded to try S. S. s. As last effort 1 consented to do So, and about seven months ago began taking the Specific. I soon began to feel the good effects of the medicine, the offensive III running began ulcers healed, my flesh became firm and solid, and to day, after using twenty-one bottles, am as hale and stout Q man of my age as there is in Georgia. am seventy-one years old. but feel now younger and stronger about TO pounds. Nothing IS to be seen of the terrible disease, or to remind mo of the torture suffered for So many years, except want the world to know of the almost miraculous cure effected on me by S. s. &, and call upon those who wish to know the particulars directly from me to write, and will consider it a pleasure as well duty to answer their lesters. l refer to Dr. W.

Governor Foraker had not proceeded far
before it was very apparent that he was
working up his audience. AS his speech pro
ceeded the widest outbursts of enthusiasm
of the evening occurred. At times there

Maine to the man from Ohio. 1t was Re-

was thrown into jingle that was vocifer-
ously chorused "O-O-O-hi-io," and for
several minutes everybody waved his hand

cheered the orator from Ohio.
The playing of the 'Marseillaise Hymn"
followed the speech, and the guests sang its
stirring words. As Chairman Foster an
nounced the next toast. Reform of the

guest shouted ''She don't need any," The
laughter evoked rather embarrassed Senator
Harrison, of Indiana, who rose to respond to
the toast but he cloverly turned the incident
to account by remarklng that the gentleman
who just spoke had made his speech for him,
for it would be the burden of what he was to
say, that with whatever faults it might
have. the party stood before the people to-
day purer. brighter and less in need of re-

plauded as he elaborated his argument
